Worst comedies you've ever seen?

Personally... i think the worst comedy I have ever seen was "Cops and Robbersons"... but some others come close, for example, "Adventures of pluto nash" and "Leonard part 6".

2001: Space Travesty. Possibly the worst thing I've seen with Leslie Nielson. And you can't be mad at the movie makers, because they put "travesty" right there in the title.

I'm sure there are worst comedy films, but I avoid watching anything featuring the Wayans brothers, so I wouldn't know.

I really hated "Wedding Crashers".    I did not find one honest to goodness laugh in the whole thing.   I kept watching wondering how it could get worse, then Wil Ferral appeared on teh screen.    I died a little bit then.

Chaos

Anything with Tom Green?
Anything with Carrot Top?
Anything with Dana Carvey by himself?
Anything produced by SNL or starring former SNL cast members from the last 10 years?

& Don't for get about another Leslie Nielson appearance in "SPACESHIP aka: "NAKED SPACE" from the Early 80's

Baby Genuises.  Me and my friend would often joke about the existance of this movie, but actually seeing it is a nightmarish experience.  It will make you, at least for a time, hate babys.

Also Slackers (the one with the dude from Rushmore in it) is a movie that made me physically angry.  I really sympathized with one Crow T Robot when he said "I want to hurt this movie, but I can't hurt it the way it hurt me."

Thank YOU! My friend absolutely loves this movie and talks about how hilarious it is, yet I just find it to be a painful 2 hours. I admit I did laugh at it and do laugh at different parts each time I watch it (I think I only sat through it twice, but I've seen bits and pieces). I just think it's totally overrated. Not a fan.
Also, I really hated "The 40 Year Old Virgin". I made the mistake of watching the extended cut and couldn't wait for it to end. So stupid.
Also, "Napoleon Dynamite". My friend and rented that on a coin flip...and ever since then we've hated that frigging quarter. We'll never make a choice that way again!

Oh, good, I'm not the only one that loathed that movie.  My entire school was caught up in the Napoleon Dynamite craze, wearing "Vote for Pedro" t-shirts and quoting the movie at any chance they got.  I felt like I had missed something important, but I couldn't watch a movie where all the actors on the screen looked braindead nine times out of ten.

This might sound a touch weird, but I can't watch 'Holy Grail' anymore.  It just got to the point where I had been exposed to it for so long, the jokes got old.  Meanwhile, if I mention that I'm a fan of Monty Python, the next thing out of everybod's mouth is, "Oh!  I know that one!  We are the knights who say Ni!"  It's a little bit grating, to tell the truth.

Yeah I certainly missed something with Napolean Dynamite.

Tripe

OK I might be alone here but I've never found Caddyshack especially amusing.

It has this sort of mega popular cult status (oxymoronic I know) but I find it terribly flat and unamusing. And I like everyone involved with it when they are in other films.

In the same spirit as Napoleon Dynamite, I also meant to include Nacho Libre as one of the worst comedies I have ever seen. Jack Black is not funny, he doesn't do or say anything in the movie that has not been seen ten million times before in movies starring the Marx bros or the Three stooges.  Speaking of... does anybody honestly think Jack Black is really that funny?

I loves me some Tenacious D, haven't seen the film though.

    Adam Sandler is another of the love-him-or-hate-him types, but the new king of pain might be Dane Cook.
